My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

"Okay, let's go pack up and let mom and dad come with us! There's enough space anyway," Li Yan's mother thought for a moment. With Lin Qingxue's shopping power, she still had to bring someone who could take care of her. Otherwise, the shopping would be endless and even two carriages might not be able to accommodate everything.

Lin Qingxue did not refuse, and Li Yanniang and the other two went to work, calling for help and going to the utility room to get baskets.

A quarter of an hour later, the group set off for the imperial city in two carriages. It was around ten o'clock in the morning when they arrived at the imperial city.

"Uncle, you stay here to guard the carriage, and we will go in to buy things." Looking at the crowded crowd in the city, Uncle Lin volunteered to stay outside the city to guard the carriage, allowing others to go in to buy things, and Lin Qingxue and the others naturally had no objection.

Except for Uncle Lin, everyone else got off the car carrying a basket. She left twenty taels of silver each to Aunt Lin and Li Yan's three sisters-in-law, and asked the brothers Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaotao to take good care of them, then took Lin Qingming away.

"Girl, are you going to buy something that my mother shouldn't know about? Otherwise, why are you running so fast?" Lin Qingming looked at Lin Qingxue with a funny face. He just asked jokingly and had no idea that he had revealed the truth.

"Brother, you're so smart. Let's go! Let's go to Yasi and ask for some maids to take home to do the laundry and cooking. It's so cold, I think my three sisters-in-law's hands are almost getting frostbite. If you don't feel sorry for them, then I do!"

Although Lin Qingxue is not seriously injured now, she did not take good care of her body before fleeing the famine. In addition, she was injured several times on the way, which led to Li Yanniang and others not allowing her to do housework until now.

Instead, Li Yanniang and her three sisters-in-law were very hardworking and took on all the housework at home, whether it was washing clothes or cooking. They did not allow the sisters Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue to get involved, which led to frostbite on their hands.

"You girl, how can I not feel sorry for your sister-in-law?" Lin Qingming said angrily. He felt sorry for her too! But he knew that wealth should not be exposed, and his family was not short of money.

But his family didn't know about it, and he couldn't tell everyone that there was money at home, right? Besides, he wasn't idle either. Aren't all the hard work at home done by his brothers?

"That's why I want to buy some maids! I want to buy six maids to take back home, two to cook, two to wash clothes and clean, and one each for Auntie and Grandma to work with."

Lin Qingxue whispered her plan. Of course, in addition to the maid, she also planned to buy two little maids and two servants to do housework.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. It will be deducted from our money. You can't pay for it," Lin Qingming nodded and answered in a low voice.

Hearing Lin Qingming's words, Lin Qingxue nodded slightly and said nothing more. The brother and sister asked along the way and arrived at Yasi.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they were warmly invited in by the gatekeeper. The brother and sister were taken to the hall to sit down, and as soon as they sat down, the maid served them tea.

Immediately afterwards, Ya Si's manager came out. When he saw Lin Qingming and his sister, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but greeted them in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"We want to buy a few servants to work for our family. They should be good cooks and honest people. We also want two page boys and a maid. Please recommend some to us."

Lin Qingxue took a sip of tea, looked up at the manager, and spoke slowly.

"Okay, madam, please sit for a while. I will bring people over for you to choose." The manager nodded and waved his hand. Immediately, someone came up and took the message and called people.

In less than a cup of tea, the person who had just arrived brought over thirty people. There were people of all kinds. Everyone was dressed neatly and appropriately, and dressed very simply. Lin Qingxue took a special look and found that even the cracks between their fingernails were clean.

Seeing the people being brought over, Lin Qingxue stepped forward to take a good look at them, then asked loudly, "I need two people who can cook. Do any of you know how to cook? What are they good at?"

"My dear, I can cook. I have served three masters and have done kitchen work. I can cook a variety of dishes, and I am good at making noodles and snacks."

After hearing Lin Qingxue's words, a woman in her forties came out with a girl in her teens. She looked at the girl next to her and said, "This is my youngest daughter. She has learned 70% to 80% of my skills and can cook."

"Okay, then you two find it out and I'll take it." Lin Qingxue looked at the mother and daughter carefully. They didn't look like treacherous people, so she wouldn't be afraid even if they were.

"Yes, young lady," the old woman replied with a delighted look on her face. She glanced at her husband and son standing beside her and gritted her teeth and said, "Young lady, this is my husband and son. They were the housekeeper and errand boy for the young master in their previous home. Could you please buy them together with me?"

Lin Qingxue said nothing. She simply looked expressionlessly at the mother and daughter, then at her husband and son, and sneered, "Alright, forget it this time. If there's a next time, I wouldn't mind giving you a taste of my methods."

After Lin Qingxue finished speaking, she didn't even look at the family. She randomly picked two little girls aged seven or eight and a girl aged fifteen or sixteen, a man with a slight limp and his son of seventeen or eighteen, and finally bought two women in their forties.

When I bought them, I specifically asked and learned that these were all lonely people who had fled famine and whose families had all died out or who had been sold by their families.

She bought eleven people at once, and even though Lin Qingxue was rich, she felt distressed. Each person cost her more than one hundred taels of silver.

After bringing them home, I had to prepare two sets of clothes for each of them, one for spring, one for summer, one for autumn, and one for winter, as well as underwear, shoes, socks, and bedding, which cost another hundred taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingxue felt even more heartbroken.

After paying the money, Lin Qingxue checked the indentures of the eleven people and found no problems, then she took them away from Yasi.

As soon as they came out of Yasi, Lin Qingxue asked Lin Qingming to send them out of the city, and asked him and Uncle Lin to send them home first.

Because Jiang Lei, the husband of the mother and daughter who could cook, had worked as a housekeeper before, Lin Qingxue specifically asked him to be the housekeeper of the Lin family.

As for everyone's treatment, we will decide after she returns home. Right now, buying things is more important.

After receiving Lin Qingxue's instructions, Lin Qingming naturally did as he was told. He took his people out of the city and met up with Uncle Lin. He told Uncle Lin about Lin Qingxue's buying of people, and was scolded by Uncle Lin.

However, the person was bought by his eldest niece, so it was useless for Uncle Lin to scold his son. He could only vent his anger.

With fierce looks on their faces, Uncle Lin and Lin Qingming each drove a carriage to send these people back to the Lin family, and then returned to the outside of the imperial city to continue waiting.
